Get a job!

Aug. 23, 2002

KALAMAZOO -- WMU students seeking campus jobs will have their
pick of positions when dozens of campus employers turn out for
the University's second Campus Employment Fair, Thursday, Aug.
29, from 9 a.m. to noon at the WMU Student Recreation Center.

The event is expected to attract first-time students and upperclassmen
in search of campus work, says Shauna Bentley, a graduate assistant
in the WMU's Career & Student Employment Services and Career
Employment Fair coordinator.

"Employers will be offering everything from office work
in specific colleges to jobs in areas like logistical services
and the library," Bentley says.

While many students flocked to last year's fair, lured in
part by the convenience of working on campus and the flexibility
of arranging a job schedule around their classes, more inquiries
this year are coming in from outside callers -- parents.

"Parents know how much it costs to attend a university
these days, and how much they have available toward their child's
expenses. Often, they are the ones calling for applications and
asking questions," Bentley says.

In addition to participating in the fair, employers also will
list openings online at <broncojobs.wmich.edu>.
